Spitalfields Market

Fodor's Review:

There's been a market here since the mid-17th century, but the current version is overflowing with crafts and design shops, stalls, bars, and restaurants (with a pan-world palette, from tapas to Thai), and different-purpose markets every day of the week.Look out for work by young designers, whose one-off accessories make original gifts, and join the office workers for some pie and mash. The nearer the weekend, the busier it all gets, culminating in the arts-and-crafts and green market on Sunday—the best day to go.For more on Spitalfields, see Chapter 18 Shopping.
